Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a windshield wiper device, in particular for a motor vehicle, having at least one wiper bearing fastened to a vehicle body of the vehicle, in which in each case at least one bearing shaft is mounted, which has a fastening region to which a bearing plate is fastened overhead, in order to generate forces and moments occurring in wiping operation to record and forward.
  • Such windshield wiper devices are well known and usually have a wiper lever, which is moved during operation oscillating over the disc of the motor vehicle. This is provided with a wiper arm, which carries at its free end a wiper blade and is secured at its other end to the bearing shaft, which in turn protrudes from the body of the motor vehicle.
  • the problem with this structure is that in an accident involving a person involved in a hood covering the bearing shafts impacting pedestrian on the bearing shafts protruding from the body can incur serious injuries.
  • this solution is very expensive.
  • This current technical solution essentially ensures an axial displacement of the entire wiper drives or the wiper axes upon impact of a pedestrian and thus contributes to a minimization of the injury.
  • the bearing shaft in two parts form and perform the two parts of the bearing shaft as sections by a defined axial force relative to each other movable. Although this ensures that the bearing shaft can dive into the interior of the motor vehicle upon impact of a pedestrian, without the entire windshield wiper device has to be moved out of position.
  • this structure has the disadvantage that the bearing shaft must be composed of several parts and in particular the lower part is preferably hollow, whereby the transmission of bending and torsional moments is limited by this portion of the bearing shaft.
  • This object is achieved in that a complementary formed to the mounting region of the bearing shaft opening in the bearing plate is provided, via which the bearing plate is pushed onto the mounting region of the bearing shaft such that they in the assembled state with the mounting region of the bearing shaft a releasable, force and / or form-fitting connection, by means of which a maximum between the bearing shaft and bearing plate in the axial direction to be transmitted force is adjustable, wherein the Bearing shaft moves when exceeding the maximum force to be transmitted from the non-positive and / or positive connection out.
  • the bearing shaft immersed in exceeding the maximum force to be transmitted from the non-positive and / or positive connection in a space formed by the vehicle body below the bearing shaft space.
  • the maximum immersion depth of the bearing shaft is thus limited only by the available space.
  • the attachment area may be cylindrical.
  • the interference fit can be adjusted in this embodiment so that the outer diameter of the mounting portion of the bearing shaft is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the opening in the bearing plate.
  • the mounting region of the bearing shaft is substantially cylindrical, at least one flattening may be provided to prevent rotation, each cooperating with a projection formed in the opening of the bearing plate complementary to the flattening to form a positive connection.
  • This way becomes a simple and simultaneous provided torsion-proof non-positive and / or positive connection between the bearing plate and bearing shaft.
  • the flattenings can be arranged such that they form an outer polyhedron, such as a hexagon, which is complementary to the outer polyhedron trained, the opening of the bearing plate forming polygon interacts.
  • eight- or n-corner can be formed.
  • the taper is designed as an outer polyhedron and the opening as réellevielkant, since in such a configuration, the individual portions of the bearing shaft and the bearing plate does not necessarily have to be caulked and still a high torque transmission is ensured with simultaneous Kippfestmaschine.
  • the positive and / or positive connection can be reproducibly produced in a simple manner and the maximum force to be transmitted can be set.
  • a particularly reliable positive and / or positive connection occurs when knurling is formed on the fastening region.
  • the teeth of the knurling can record and forward the operating forces and moments in the wiping operation by means of non-positive and positive connection.
  • the knurling should be designed so that the axial force or the axial energy pulse is sufficient in the impact of a pedestrian to release the frictional connection between the bearing shaft and bearing plate and so to move the bearing shaft axially out of the bearing plate.
  • the mounting region of the bearing shaft can be designed with a taper or the diameter of the opening in the bearing plate can be varied.
  • the change in diameter in the bearing plate can be designed so that the pressure in the upper part of the connection region is greater than in the lower region.
  • a particularly high torque transmission is achieved in that the fastening region of the bearing shaft has at least one longitudinal and / or one transverse groove, which interacts in each case with a guide web formed in the opening of the bearing plate complementary to the longitudinal and / or transverse groove.
  • Another possibility for setting the maximum force to be transmitted as accurately as possible can be achieved by varying the step length of the different diameters of the fastening region and / or the opening in the bearing plate.
  • a shoulder is formed on the bearing shaft to simplify the positioning of the bearing plate on the bearing shaft below the mounting region of the bearing shaft. This makes it possible to determine the position of the bearing plate on the bearing shaft by the bearing plate is pushed during assembly as long as the bearing shaft until it comes with the paragraph on the bearing shaft into abutment.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 show a partial view of a windshield wiper device 1 according to the invention for a motor vehicle with a mounted on a vehicle body 2 of the vehicle, not shown wiper bearing 3.
  • a bearing shaft 4 is mounted in the wiper bearing 3.
  • a mounting portion 4a is formed, on which a bearing plate 5 is attached overhead, to receive and forward forces and moments occurring in the wiping operation.
  • the bearing shaft 5 has an opening 5a to form a non-positive and positive connection.
  • a shoulder 6 is formed on the bearing shaft 4 to facilitate the positioning of the bearing plate 5 on the mounting portion 4 a of the bearing shaft 4.
  • the non-positive and positive connection is here by Buffalo a knurling 7 (see also FIG. 2 and 3 ) in the attachment area 4a.
  • the teeth of the knurling 7 take by force and positive connection on the forces and moments arising in wiping operation and forward them.
  • the knurling 7 is designed so that the forces and moments arising during operation are transmitted securely and at the same time an axial force F or an axial energy pulse I sufficient to solve the non-positive connection between the bearing shaft 4 and bearing plate 5, so that the Bearing shaft 4 moves axially out of the bearing plate 5.
  • the tolerance range of the pressure to be applied by the knurling p 1 is sufficiently large to be in the setting of the force and / or positive connection to make a safe demarcation between operational forces and impact forces can occur. Furthermore, the teeth of the knurling ensure that the bearing plate 5 does not slip on the bearing shaft 4.
  • the bearing plate 5 is pushed onto the bearing shaft 4 until it engages with the mounting portion 4a of the bearing shaft and rests against the stop 6.
  • the releasable positive and positive connection thus produced is adjusted by varying the outer diameter of the mounting portion 4a of the bearing shaft or the inner diameter of the opening 5a of the bearing plate 5 and the resulting interference fit, so that the bearing shaft 4 when exceeding a maximum force to be transmitted moved out of the positive and positive connection, so as to provide an effective and simple pedestrian impact protection.
  • This paragraph 6 is due to the reduction of the degrees of freedom in the assembly of the bearing plate 5 on the bearing shaft 4 is a considerable relief.
  • the adjustment of the interference fit between the bearing shaft 4 and the bearing plate 5 is effected by an intermediate sleeve.
  • This sleeve is made of a sheet metal part or a plastic part and surface-treated to set a certain coefficient of friction to prevent slippage between the bearing shaft 4 and bearing plate 5, for example, sand blasted.
  • these sleeves may also be made of a sintered metal or other suitable material.
  • these embodiments can also have webs to increase the coefficient of friction and to ensure the interference fit.
  • FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment of the present inventive windscreen wiper device 1.
  • the interference fit P 1 is essentially formed by the outer diameter D 1 of the knurling 7 of the bearing shaft 4 and the step length L 1 of the knurling 7 in conjunction with the inner diameter of the opening 5a.
  • the opening 5a with stepped bore 8 with the diameters D 2 and D 3 and the step length L 2 executed, and the diameter D 2 as shown in the embodiment, chosen smaller than the diameter D 3 thus results in a press fit p 2 over the length L 2 , which is greater than the interference fit p 3 , which builds up in the region of the diameter D3 between the bearing plate 5 and bearing shaft 4.
  • this effect is achieved in that a corresponding taper in the cylindrical contact portion 4a of the bearing shaft 4 is provided. Again, take through the rejuvenation and the associated Reducing the diameter of the friction forces with increasing depth of immersion by reducing the interference fit p from.
  • FIG. 5 shows a windshield wiper device 1 with an alternative embodiment of a positive and / or positive connection according to the invention.
  • the connection between the bearing plate 5 and the bearing shaft 4 takes place here via a substantially cylindrical contact region 4a, on which a flattening 9a of the otherwise circular cross-sectional surface 9 is provided.
  • the flattening 9a of the mounting portion 4a of the bearing shaft 4 interacts with a protrusion formed on the bearing plate 5 within the opening 5a such that slipping of the bearing shaft 4 in the opening 5a of the bearing plate 5 takes place only when exceeding a maximum to be transmitted bending moment.
  • the contact region 5a is provided with flats 9a such that it forms a hexagonal or polygonal cross-sectional area.
  • the opening 5 a in the bearing plate 5 is designed corresponding to the cross-sectional area 9 of the bearing shaft 4.
  • a clamp or a sintered component is inserted between the fastening region 4a and the opening 5a.
  • the forces and bending moments to be transmitted can be set very accurately.
  • FIG. 6 shows a snapshot of a partial view of a windshield wiper device according to the invention according to FIG. 1 , in which the pedestrian impact protection mechanism was triggered by an axially acting pulse I and the bearing shaft 4 has already been submerged in the installation space of the vehicle body by an amount ⁇ X.
